#MidSizeStyle Shorts Shopping

It's summer & I don't particularly love shorts.
But, it's Indiana & it gets gross humid. & I am just not that girl that hates body so much I am going to sweat in jeans in 90 degree heat. 
So I have to wear them.

As I started shopping I had ordered some online from pictures & other fashion bloggers that were so super cute. But..once they arrived, they looked not even close to as cute on me. 

If you're not familiar the term "mid-size" (not the SUV lol) or "in betweenie" it's what women my size call themselves. Not quite "conventional" sizing but not quite plus-size either as it's too big. Which makes shopping sometimes difficult! For reference I am currently a size 10.

I set off today to go find some shorts & am taking you along with what I find best for that body type! Today I am just adding one Express & the rest is from Target. Tomorrow, I will update this with my Old Navy & possibly another store finds! I also linked plus size for every item where it was available!


Here we go!

TO SHOP CLICK ITEMS PICTURES

First up, I am dubbing these the best "mom" shorts of the year! They run a touch big! In the photo I am wearing a XL, & I have well over 2 inches pinned in the back! & they have pockets! ;)   Shop This Full Look HERE







These are another pair that has that kind of cinched waist that is very flattering! This is a fun color to pop too! I felt as though these ran a little big as well, I am in a large here & had more than plenty of room. They are super strechy..but still fit great. If I would have gone to a medium I think I wouldn't of like the length as much.

These are a great mid length, high waisted short that isn't a unflattering Bermuda short! I love the slight distressing!                                                                                                                             Shop This Full Look HERE


These were a no go for me, but for someone that doesn't have OCD about the stripes lining up these would be so cute! I would def size up as I felt it hugged me a little too tight in the stomach area!
High Rise Frayed Hem Short
These ran, I felt a little bit snug! If you like a shorter hem, these are for you! & they are like $13!

Boyfriend Jean Shorts
These are SO comfy! They didn't have my size, so I went a size up. I think these still look great that I got them, but I ordered my size online to try just to see if they hug me a little better for my shape! Shop This Full Look HERE




Linen Shorts
These are another shorts that is just great to look put together but so comfy! These feel like PJ shorts too! I am in a XL here, & love the length. They didn't have any larges to try, so I really cinched them hard pulling to back & decided I would just do that so I wouldn't lose any length!

Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

Okay so I am about a month in having an air fryer, & I am just so obsessed.
I saw a thing for grilled cheese in it, & thought how could be it any better than the traditional grilled cheese in a skillet.
But, let me just say..it is. & It soooo much better!





What you need:

Bread
Butter
Cheese of your choice
Toothpicks
Air Fryer


Directions: 

The trick to the best grilled cheese is using very little butter on the bread.

Since you are making this in the air fryer, I used two toothpick to tack down the two side so it isn't curl in!

Set your fryer to 350 degrees, & put in your sandwich was 4 mins, make sure you flip over your sandwich half way through to get both sides crispy!

& enjoy! The girls love theirs with tomato soup!
I am telling you, the bread, mixed with how creamy the cheese gets in the fryer..it jusssst different enough for me to only have grilled cheese this way from now on!

4. Water Park Fun
This varies by location, but the day you check-in you can get into the water park before your room is ready! & on check out day? You get to stay in the water park til it closes! Just take all of your things out to your car & remember to pack dry clothes & everything you need for after you done!
